Which ONE music video of P's has the most impact on you?

I love hunting down and watching P's individual music videos (I'm not talking about 'collections' or concert videos)...I must have watched gazillions of them - and he looks fabulous in all of them! However, in terms of the ONE I cannot get enough of watching; the one I find totally fascinating / absorbing, I have to go for 'Face Down' (closely followed by 'Gangsta Glam').

.

Why? Well, I love his facial expressions in it; his 'chipper' dance moves; the way he waves his stick around (I said 'his STICK' razz ) and his blowing on that horn (gosh, this is sounding worse and worse by the minute eek lol )! All in all, I just can't get enough of the 'Face Down' video, and I always find something new in it!

.

Is there one in particular that you really, really like or find compelling - and why?

A couple, for different reasons. "Glam Slam", because it was a better lit look into the Lovesexy Tour. I only wish they'd recorded it live, because it sounds even better in concert, too.

The other is "Gangsta Glam". I was a hairstylist at the time that was out. I was fascinated with his typhoon hair at the time. I always hot ironed my hair into a pompadour type look, slicked on the sides. The silhouette was the same as his, but the details differed a bit. I'd get home, and tie a silk handkerchief around my head, and tie it off in the front, like he did in "Gett Off", etc. I mean, in those days I was watching the Diamonds and Pearls Video Collection everyday anyway. The Gett Off collection was a lot of fun stuff, including the mention of the hair.

I was later a featured stylist in a Paul Mitchell hair show. I cut & colored my model's hair, and did a typhoon on her, and even called it that on stage. People seemed to love it.

Also, "Gold" - because the whole special around it was so great.

Sorry, it's the Hodgkin's talking.

When Doves Cry -- because if you look really close when he gets out of the tub, you can see a bit of that dyed-purple woolen underwear cut and sewed into a "banana sling" for him.

I know, I know.

Computer Blue. I find it compelling to watch most every single detail of what goes on in that video start to finish but can't explain why I do nor why I love it so much. I will say that I find him really HOT in that video though lol Maybe that's the reason then lol

Welcome to "the org", Mumio…they can have you, but I'll have your love in the end nod

There are a lotmofmgjem but I really love Call My Name as a song.
The other songs I love are newer and don't have vids except RNR Love Affair
And of course he is so sexy in anything he's done, I esp like the Mayte era.
